The Kilpisjärvi Atmospheric Imaging Receiver Array
will be deployed in summer 2011. It is a broad-band VHF radio
receiver, which can be used for atmospheric studies using
transmissions from a range of radars in the vicinity as well as
for radio astronomy within the LOFAR project.

The Sodankylä-Leicester Ionospheric Coupling Experiment
(SLICE) is essentially a meteor radar deployed by the University
of Leicester, UK, at Sodankylä and operated by the Sodankylä
Geophysical Observatory.

Negative Ion Chemistry Effects in mesospheric active heating experiments
(NICE) is a project to
quantify the role of the negative ion chemistry in the high-latitude mesosphere
by combining optimised RF heating experiments in the ionospheric D region with
detailed, coupled modelling of the ion-neutral chemistry.

Chemical Aeronomy in the Mesosphere and Ozone in the Stratosphere
(CHAMOS) originated from the development of the
Sodankylä ion-neutral chemistry model (SIC) at SGO,
aims to study the effect of energetic particle precipitation (e.g. aurora) on the ozone
budget of the mesosphere and stratosphere.
